unknown "Control Panel" item

[Guest]

Hello,
After a clean install of Windows XP Home SP2, I found in the control panel
a generic Windows icon. No information presented from the item.
Control Panel set up to show "name" and "comments".
Right click menu shows "open" and "create short cut".
Tried to open but item closes too fast. No changes seen after "open".
Is there a way to find out about this item?

Thank You.
take care.

Look in your system32 folder for .cpl files and you should be able to
narrow it down by process of elimination. Do a search on the net for
the items that are not listed in this article:
